I really appreciate your generosity :)<BR/><BR/>Thank you for introducing yourself, Q, through Mari-Nanci's blog. You are most welcome. I see that we have a great deal in common :)<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your good wishes, Kari & Kijsa :)<BR/><BR/>A warm welcome to you too, Jeanne. I'm glad you enjoyed the post :)<BR/><BR/>That sounds very interesting, shirl. I must pop over and find out what the surprise is :)<BR/><BR/>Lovely to meet you, Steve, from thepowerguides. Thank you for the lovely compliment :)<BR/><BR/>What a lovely song you introduced me to, Dawn. I enjoyed it very much. I did feel it resonates with my philosophy on why I garden for wildlife :) <BR/><BR/>My hubbie thought the same thing when he looked at the post, Ki. The monochrome look of the garden made the colours of the birds even more outstanding and amazing :)<BR/><BR/>Lovely to hear from you, dear Thalia. Thank you for giving me your new web address. I shall be over soon to drink in the beauty of your landscape, rich in colour and wildlife :)<BR/><BR/>You say the sweetest things, dear Green Thumb :)A wildlife gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08261817184002496844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436251929191150062.post-75839394643717597872008-03-01T18:40:00.000+00:002008-03-01T18:40:00.000+00:00Hi W.G, What a caring and considerate attention yo...Hi W.G, What a caring and considerate attention you have paid to the winged visitors in Barleycorn; if ever in some life i am to be a birdie, i know where to nest myself in.Green thumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02985557905470748245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436251929191150062.post-79127740486428267842008-02-29T10:46:00.000+00:002008-02-29T10:46:00.000+00:00Dear Wildlife gardener,I have changed the web addr...Dear Wildlife gardener,<BR/><BR/>I have changed the web address of my blog, so I thought I'll inform you of the new address since you are so kind as to frequently visit my blog.You can now read my blog at http://love-for-nature.blogspot.com.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>ThaliaGowrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10487361749673875224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436251929191150062.post-57963026867225860902008-02-28T07:47:00.000+00:002008-02-28T07:47:00.000+00:00It's wonderful to see the birds...so many of them ...It's wonderful to see the birds...so many of them are found here in India too..the robins, tits, sparrows and robins!

We have had three lovely days with sunshine and blue skies though we have had a severe ground frost and frozen ponds as well...so we'll just have to be patient for Spring :)<BR/><BR/>Lovely to have your company, Marie. I'm glad you like the birds which come to our garden :)<BR/><BR/>We don't have the chickadees or the wonderful red cardinal in Scotland, Benjamin. but we do the others you mentioned in common. Simple pleasures... such as encouraging the birds...make life much richer :) <BR/><BR/>Hey, Joey, nice to see you again. From the moment I wake up till I go to sleep I can never tire of the beautiful birdsong in the garden. Having them for company is a huge part of the pleasure of gardening :)<BR/><BR/>Winter can seem long and hard, Kate, especially on dark, rainy days, with little light. But, the secret, if there is any, is to find pleasure in the beauty of the bare bones of the garden...and the birdsong, for company, helps too :)<BR/><BR/>A warm welcome, dear Wanda. The stained glass in the last photo is the top half of my back door. When we first came here the house had a wooden door...but I love the light and needed to see through that door somehow. So, when we could afford it, we changed the door :)<BR/><BR/>I know we are kindred spirits, Nature Girl, as you have many things in your blog which resonate with mine. I'm glad I was able to return the ferret safely to its owners :)<BR/><BR/>Great to have your company, dear Ruth. We are very fortunate in being surrounded by beautiful landscape, though, being 225 metres above sea level, the weather can bring us fierce gales, freezing temperatures for long spells and weeks of dismal rain too. The birds don't seem to mind...they just keep on singing :)A wildlife gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08261817184002496844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436251929191150062.post-58435405670542195802008-02-12T15:39:00.000+00:002008-02-12T15:39:00.000+00:00WG, I just love your winter photos, what a gorgeou...WG, I just love your winter photos, what a gorgeous landscape.
